I don't have time to speculate much about detailed investigative facts about the Boston Bomb & Lockdown at this time. Just postulating a few basic points for those interested.
IMHO...
Today's exercise is part of a very simple, long-term strategy, that has been in place for a long time at a very high level.
The planning and execution of individual attacks is accomplished by organizations detached from the high-level strategists.
The strategy is partly geared towards several target groups, in particular conservatives, christians who have not bought into globalism and gun owners.
Part of the goal is to marginalize these groups, which will marginalize their principles, so that America will be more accepting of an authoritarian state.
One desired effect on the target groups is to get them agitated so some will be drawn to actually support authoritarian police actions such as were demonstrated in Boston today.
It's also interesting to note that Republican politicians will be able to simultaneously support the above high-level strategy and rebuild their conservative image by being "tough on terror" and supporting this lockdown.
Having these target groups very agitated is also designed to provoke responses from individuals which can be used to brand the entire group, and possibly even provoke some to violence, which, of course, would be a huge win for the political left (as well as the "high-level strategists").
To counteract this desired effect, one only needs to be calm and express skepticism about the whole situation and a lack of acceptance of the tactics. It never hurts to point out news media manipulation either.
Another desired effect is to stoke as much anger at and resentment of islam as possible in the target groups.
Once again, a firm and calm approach is best when expressing opposition. IMHO, muslims who will not renounce the wickedness that is islam should simply be sent back where they came from, and that solves most of America's terrorism problems. Of course, this will not happen in a day, but it must proceed one step at a time, otherwise statism is advancing one step at a time.
Another desired effect is to instill fear of massively dangerous events (even though this is a single person with conventional weapons, which has never lead to a lockdown on this scale) in the population at large.
At the same time the intent is also to instill in the population a trust in government as being their sole protector, and - most importantly - acceptance of the government using draconian measures such as the Boston lockdown. This lockdown sets the precedent for locking down whole cities, after which repetition will bring desensitization to such actions.
Most government and LE personnel have no idea of how this attack actually came about, they're just following orders from further up the chain of command, and those at the top are undoubtedly simply following current practices emanating out of the current thought leaders of LE.
I. The most simple logic that does not add up (though one periodical I came across suggested that recent Putin remarks somehow do make this add up)...
A) Chechnya's muslim agitators' big enemy is Russia.
B) Russia's greatest "adversary" is America.
C) So it makes no sense for a Chechnyan terrorist to target America, the enemy of his enemy, unless there is some other plot afoot.
II. Non-governmental organizations, intelligence (espionage) services (including both CIA and KGB) and major arms and black market operators have been running amok in Central and Eastern Europe for many years. There is no public record of what US interests have been doing or causing in the area, who they have worked with, money flows, etc.; the only oversight is by Congressional committees which have a history of frustrated inquiries. It's all apparently a "state secret".
III. Perhaps research by individual citizens or small groups into II. would shed some light. Some folks that are heavily involved in international trade, for example (for example only, not to imply anything), on the order of Marc Rich, the stereotypical fugitive billionaire, have relationships with all sorts of characters as well as with intelligence services and governments. In the case of Rich, he has relationships to the point of getting a pardon from a U.S. President - that's a lot of influence - based on, we can only assume, services rendered or renderable. IMHO, the world of espionage, terrorism and international finance is a complex stew, stirred by a number of secretive and very influential hands, and this week's operatives du jour, like all operatives, are ultimately just pawns on the chessboard of the wealthy and powerful.
I believe they were pawns. No way did they have the money to buy the weapons and materials they had plus support their life style. Who provided the money? Maybe the young Saudi?
YES! Excellent observation and memory.
Here's why this is so important: Russia has had trouble with Islamic terrorist murders for centuries, and Putin wanted to put a stop to it.
After the Belsan school genocide and Moscow theater events, there was enough nationalist Russian support for Putin to be the tough guy he is.
He went to war with Chechnya and won so decisively that he co-opted the surrendered Chechen military, forcing them to hunt and kill their own people.
This is the first time in history a Muslim military has been forced to kill their own people, previously the best anyone could do was to drive them out (King Jan, Vlad the Impaler).
The Chechen terrorists that flee to Western Europe and America are fleeing their own military.
